Welcome to the University of York Volleyball Club (UYVC) home page. This site is designed so that members and non-members can find information regarding the club, training, fixtures, results, as well as upcoming and past events. We hope that this site will be a means for anyone who is interested in getting involved with the club to get in contact with us. The UYVC has men's and women's first teams who both represent the university in British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS), playing in the North East division. We also participate in other tournaments throughout the year and in recent years have become a competitive force in English volleyball with impressive finishes in our league and in national cup competitions.

The club also organizes beginner's sessions which are a great way for new players to hone their skills as well as a route for newer players into the first teams. In addition to all this volleyball there are regular events and socials. Most Wednesdays after matches, the teams meet in town or on campus for drinks. We also organize a Christmas dinner, and other more formal occasions.

As a club we take pride in the success we've had, we aim to continue and improve on previous years, and we are always happy to see new people becoming involved in the club.
